Xylazine, also known as Tranq, is a non-opioid tranquilizer used as a sedative, analgesic, and muscle relaxant used in veterinary medicine for animals including horse and cattle. Combining xylazine with other substances that cause central nervous system depression compounds the sedative effects and can increase the risk of death. The Rapid Response Xylazine (XYL) Test Strip is an easy-to-use rapid lateral flow assay for the qualitative detection of xylazine in liquid or powder samples. Rapid Response Xylazine Test Strip’s performance was deemed acceptable for subtance checking purposes, demonstrating high sensitivity, specificity, and precision when evaluated by the Center for Forensic Science Research and Education (CFSRE) and the Philadelphia Department of Public Health (PDPH).
